Race Courses

5K, 10K & Kids' Run courses are the same as last year. If substantial snowfall, Bridger Ski Foundation will groom the Connector Trail in order to widen the trail and improve footing – thanks BSF! Volunteers will be at the start of the Connector Trail instructing slower participants to stay right, faster runners to pass on the left, and walkers to proceed single file in order to minimize the bottleneck.

Untimed 5K Fun Run

The Untimed 5K Fun Run is for non-competitive runners and walkers. Participants in the Untimed 5K Fun Run will line up at the back of the field at 9:15am behind the 5K runners, as a courtesy to these participants who are racing. Please do not walk in the 10K event. Courses will be supported for 90 minutes (14 minute per mile pace). Patrollers on the 10K will sweep behind the last runners and cannot support walkers due to time constraints.

Chip Timing

5K & 10K events will be scored using the chip timing Chrono Track D-Tag system. It is important that all 5K & 10K participants wear both 1) the bib number pinned to the FRONT of your outer garment and 2) the paper D-tag timing chip attached to your shoelace. You will be timed only if you wear the plastic chip on your shoe. The timing chips will not be collected afterward. Participants in the Untimed 5K Fun Run will receive a race bib number that must be worn on the outer garment.

Volunteering

Maybe your family and friends don’t care to run or walk? Please encourage them to Volunteer. 150 Volunteers are needed! All Volunteers receive the same long-sleeve micro-fiber race shirt, share in all the fun, and will be entered to win a terrific top-prize from our sponsors!
